Ventilation
The cooling system is fully automatic. The cooling fan starts with a low speed. The ventilation
starts with a high speed when the cooktop is used intensively. The cooling fan reduces speed
and stops automatically when the electronic circuit is cooled.
STARTING-UP AND OPTIMUM USE
Before the first use
Clean your cooktop with a damp cloth and dry the surface thoroughly. Do not use detergent which
risks causing blue-tinted colour on the glass surface.
Induction principle
An induction coil is located under each cooking zone. When it is engaged, it produces a
variable electromagnetic field which produces inductive currents in the ferromagnetic base of
the
pan. The result is a heating-up of the pan located on the heating zone.
Of course the pan has to be magnetic:
 All ferromagnetic pans are suitable (please verify by using a small magnet): cast
iron
and steel pans, enamelled pans, stainless-steel pans with ferromagnetic bases.
 Exclusions: copper, pure stainless-steel, aluminium, glass, wood, ceramic, stoneware.
The induction heating zone adapts automatically to the size of the pan. If the diameter is too
small, the pan doesn’t heat-up. This diameter will vary the function of the heating zone
diameter. If the pan is not adapted to the induction cooktop the display will show [ U ].
Sensitive touch
Your ceramic cooktop is equipped with electronic controls with sensor touch controls.. When your
finger touches the key, the corresponding command is activated. This activation is validated
by a control light, a letter or a number in the display and/or a “beep” sound.
During normal use only touch one sensor key at a time.

If no input is made within 20 second the electronics return to the waiting position.
Pan detection
This cooktop is fitted with an interactive control system that makes it very easy to use. After
switching on the cooktop, when you put a cookware on the cooking zone, the control system
automatically detects it. This system also automatically indicates you which slider control to use
by displaying a [ 0 ] over it. You then just have to set the expected cooking level.
The pan detection ensures optimum performance. The induction will not work if:
 There is no pan on the cooking zone or if this pan is not suitable for induction. In this
case it is impossible to increase the power and the display shows [ U ]. This symbol
disappears when a compatible pan is put on the cooking zone.
 The pan is removed from the cooking zone. The display shows [ U ]. The symbol [ U ]
disappears when the pan is put back to the induction zone. The cooking continues with
the power level set before.
After use, switch the cooking zone off : don’t leave the pan detection [ U ] active.

still be hot and indicate[ H ] on the display.
The symbol [ H ] disappears when the cooking zones may safely be touched.
When the residual heat indicators are on, don’t touch the cooking zones and don’t put any heat
sensitive object on them. There is a risk of burns and fire.
Booster function
The Booster function [ P ] and the Double Booster [ ] grant a boost of power to the selected
cooking zone.

 Power management:
The cooktop is divided in 2 or 3 (dep. on model) separate sets of cooking zones, each set
having a maximum power.
If the selected heating levels for the jointly managed zones exceed the maximum available
amount of power, the power management function automatically reduces the power from one of
these zones. The display of this zone blinks first; the level is then automatically reduced to the
highest possible setting.
